Help: Links from DB are masked
I'm running Links 2.0 from URLConnection.com. So far I really like it, and this forum has been a big help!

I have another issue, though. Customers are complaining that when they click on a link it remains masked by my website. Is this because of links?

thanks

I am not quite sure what you mean by masked. Are you displaying your links in a frameset?

In link.html use <a href="<%URL%>"><%Title%></a> instead of using jump.cgi, but you will lose the hits stats.

No, not in a frameset. What I mean is that the URL window shows my site even after it jumps to a link.

You ARE in a frameset. How do I know??? Click view source and get:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>URL Connection - The search engine for New.net domains</title>
</head>
<frameset frameborder=0 framespacing=0 border=0 rows="100%,*" noresize>
<frame name="TOPFRAME" src="http://www.kiwireport.com/URLConnection" noresize>
</frameset>
</html>
So because you never put "target=_top" in your links. you remain in the initial frameset. Very annoying. On a related subject, I don't use HotMail or AshJeeves anymore because when you click on external links they put you in a frameset with their retarded banners at the top.
Happy Coding,
